T 0 all whom it may concern: v

Be it known that I, ED Soorr, a citizen of the'United States, residing at Mounds, in the county of Greek and State of Oklahoma, have-invented new and useful Improvements in Blotters for Check Books, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention contemplates the provislon of a check pad holder, which together with the check pad is capable of being folded in a small compact article so that it can be conveniently carried on the person of the user, One of the objects of the inventlon is to associate with the holder, a blotter including a foldable section, which when extended af-j p fords the blotter a size to extend across the entire length of the check and its stub, but.

which section when folded'permits the'holder and pad to be arranged in compact form, i The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in con- Figure 3 is a plan view showing the blot-- ter extended.

Figure 4 is a side elevation of the holder completely folded. 7 Referring to the drawings in detail, A indicates a holder which embodiesan intermediate section 10 and opposed end sections 11 and 12 respectively. The sections are adapted to be folded one upon the other to produce a comparatively small article, and held in this position by means of a closure flap 13 which forms a continuation of the end sec-'- tion 12, and adapted to be folded over the intermediate section 10 and secured thereto in any suitable manner as indicatedat 1 1. The check pad is of well known construction and indicated at 15, the card board back at 16 being reduced in size, and slid into a pocket 17 forming part of the section 11. The comlongitudinal sectional view bine'd length of the sections 10' and 11' isjust slightly greater than the length of the check including the. stub, so that whentheholder is opened, it 'providesa proper support for the check.

Associated with the section 12 is a blotter.

preferably including'two parts indicated at 18 and 19 respectively and'which parts are arrangedin end to end relation as shown. The part 18 is secured to the inner side of the section 12, which section is formed to provide apocket 20. The other part 19 of theblotter is secured to a flexible strip 21, a portion ofwhich is arranged within the so; that the strip 21 provides a hinge which permits the part 19 of theblotter to be folded-upon the part 18 or extended in end to end relation with the latter when its use is desired; When the section 19 is extended for use, the combined lengths of therespective sections of the blotter is slightly greaterthan the length of the check andstub there for, so that the entire arrangement of the check is covered" by the blotter incident to the use of the latter. article can be folded andinaterially'reduced in size, and thereby permitted to be conveniently carried in the pocket ofthe user.

For this purpose, it is only necessary to arrange the part 19 of the blotter upon the. part 18, the section llupon the'section10,

of the holder and, then arrange the section closure flap 13 is then folded over on the section 10, and secured thereto in any. suitable manner.

going description, the nature and advan tages of'the invention will be readily apparent, desire to have it understood that: I do not limit myself to whatis herein shown and described and that such-changes may be resorted to, when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

What is claimed'is:

A check pad holder including an-intermediate section and end sections, adaptedto be folded one upon the other, pockets formed by each end section, the back of the check pad beingslipped in the pocket of'one end section, a blotterincluding two parts, one

of said parts being attached to the other end As above stated I the I ocket 20 and secured to one wall thereof,

'11 upon the section 19 0f the blotter. The Y I a -Wh1le 1t 1s believed that from the foresection and fixed relatively thereto, the other part of the blotter being arranged in end to end relation with the fixed part, and movable with relationthereto, .21, flexible connection between'the movable part of'tlie blotter and the adjacent end section, whereby said movable part is adapted to be extended for use or folded upon the fixed part of the blotter, and a closure flap carried by the latter mentioned end section and adapted to be 19 secured to the intermediate sections In testimony whereofjll a'fli-x my signature.

ED SCOTT.
